Line 183:
It seems to me that the scope of this article is methods for numerical calculuation of square roots, and that the sections on continued fractions and Pell's equation do not belong here. On the other hand, the example <math>\sqrt{114}</math> expressed as a periodic continued fraction would be good in the article [[periodic continued fraction]]. Any opposite views?

== Original research ==
This article seems to largely ignore several common algorithms used in numerical analysis, instead presenting original research stuff like the high/low method. This article should be checked against standard references in numerical analysis, as well as the Wikipedia articles [[numerical analysis]] and [[root-finding algorithm]], in this case for solving the equation ''x''<sup>2</sup> - r = 0, where r is the root. Methods that cannot be found in the literature in this field comprise [[WP:NOR|original research]] and should be removed.
